In a book, in a box, in the closet
|
In a line, in a song I once heard
|
In a moment on a front porch late one June
|
In a breath inside a whisper beneath the moon
|
|
There it was at the tips of my fingers
|
There it was on the tip of my tongue
|
There you were and I had never been that far
|
There it was the whole world wrapped inside my arms
|
|
And I let it all slip away
|
|
What do I do now that you're gone
|
No back up plan, no second chance
|
And no one else to blame
|
All I can hear in the silence that remains
|
Are the words I couldn't say
|
|
There's a rain that will never stop fallin'
|
There's a wall that I tried to take down
|
What I should have said just wouldn't pass my lips
|
So I held back and now we've come to this
|
|
And it's too late now
|
|
What do I do now that you're gone
|
No back up plan, no second chance
|
And no one else to blame
|
All I can hear in the silence that remains
|
Are the words I couldn't say
|
|
I should have found the way to tell you how I felt
|
Now the one I'm telling is myself
|
|
What do I do now that you're gone
|
No back up plan, no second chance
|
And no one else to blame
|
All I can hear in the silence that remains
|
Are the words I couldn't say
|
|
What do I do now that you're gone
|
No back up plan, no second chance
|
And no one else to blame
|
All I can hear in the silence that remains
|
Are the words I couldn't say
|
|
What do I do now that you're gone
|
No back up plan, no second chance
|
And no one else to blame
|
All I can hear in the silence that remains
|
Are the words I couldn't say
|
